Psalms 26

A Prayer for Divine Scrutiny and Redemption

A Psalm of David.

1Vindicate #Ps. 7:8me, O Lord,

For I have #2 Kin. 20:3; (Prov. 20:7)walked in my integrity.

#(Ps. 13:5; 28:7)I have also trusted in the Lord;

I shall not slip.

2#Ps. 17:3; 139:23Examine me, O Lord, and prove me;

Try my mind and my heart.

3For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,

And #2 Kin. 20:3; Ps. 86:11I have walked in Your truth.

4I have not #Ps. 1:1; Jer. 15:17sat with idolatrous mortals,

Nor will I go in with hypocrites.

5I have #Ps. 31:6; 139:21hated the assembly of evildoers,

And will not sit with the wicked.

6I will wash my hands in innocence;

So I will go about Your altar, O Lord,

7That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving,

And tell of all Your wondrous works.

8Lord, #Ps. 27:4; 84:1–4, 10I have loved the habitation of Your house,

And the place where Your glory dwells.

9#Ps. 28:3Do not gather my soul with sinners,

Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,

10In whose hands is a sinister scheme,

And whose right hand is full of #1 Sam. 8:3bribes.

11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity;

Redeem me and be merciful to me.

12#Ps. 40:2My foot stands in an even place;

In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
